1 Rule 421 Mandatory Episodic Curtailment of Wood and Other Solid Fuel Burning
2 Introduction Fine particle pollution exceeds health standards Particle pollution can cause premature death, strokes, heart attacks, aggravated asthma, and additional impacts to children Highest PM concentrations in wintertime Wood smoke is single largest source of wintertime particles Scientific consultants showed significant benefits from Rule 421 Fugitive Dust 17% Cooking 3% Other Mobile 7% Motor Vehicles 8% Other Burning 2% Total PM2.5: 18.7 Tons per Day Farming 2% Other Sources 3% Wood Smoke 54% Fuel Burning 4%
3 Current Rule 421 Requirements In effect November 1 st through end of February Restrictions: Voluntary curtailment Stage 1 Stage 2 Affects Residents and Businesses: Wood, pellets, and manufactured logs Indoor/outdoor fireplaces, fireplace inserts, and stoves Exemptions Natural gas, propane and electric fireplaces Sole source of heat Financial Hardship Cooking (e.g. barbeques) Religious activities How do I find out if I can burn? Call NOBURN5 ( ) Online or or text message through Air Alert at Sacramento Bee weather page Radio and TV weather broadcasts
4 Why Amend Rule 421 Current Rule 421 has significant benefits Stage 1 average daily air benefit of 10% Stage 2 average daily air quality benefit of 23% 40% fewer days above health standard Proposal has modest but important benefits We need these benefits plus others to meet PM2.5 requirements will establish benefits estimates for PM2.5 plan due in 2012 Increased benefits from this rule now will reduce the level of commitments to adopt other, more costly regulations in 2012 plan
5 Potential Additional Control Measures Cost Effectiveness of Proposed Amendment $ $5.32 / pound For Sale Agriculture Unknown Replacement on re-model/resale $7.48/lb Unpaved Roads $6.15/lb Chipping/Grinding Unknown Ag, Non-Ag & Prescribed Burning Unknown Paved Roads $1.43/lb Efficiency of control devices Unknown Bulk Material Storage $14.12/lb
6 Proposed Rule Changes Current Rule Optional threshold changes (µg/m 3 ) Recommended Change Option A Option B Voluntary threshold >25 >25 >20 or >25 >20 Stage 1 threshold >35 >31 Eliminated >25 Stage 2 threshold >40 >35 >30 >30 Changes in Number of No Burn Days Stage 1 Stage 2 Stage 1 Stage 2 Single Stage Stage 1 Stage 2 Average # of No Burn days Average additional # of No Burn days Average # of voluntary No Burn days µg/m 3 25 µg/m 3 20 Contingency Option Automatically reduce threshold to 20 µg/m 3 if Sacramento does not meet federal health standards by 2014 or 2019 deadlines (41 additional No Burn days)
7 Outreach & Comments 5 Public workshops conducted July 2009 Our Region ads published in Sacramento Bee Notices sent by mail and Meetings with HBPA & Retailers, Sacramento Area Realtors, and Breathe California Change made to Staff s Workshop Recommendation in response to comments Maintain two stage program with limited exemption for certified and pellet devices on Stage 1 No Burn 200+ comments received, other comments: Opposed Rule 421 or changes to it Request change to prohibit all visible smoke Supported elimination of EPA certified device exemption, or more stringent Option B
8 Conclusion Staff Recommendation Determine that the rule amendment is exempt from CEQA Adopt the resolution approving Staff s recommendation Could Consider Other Options (Option A, B, or Contingency) More health protective Increased costs on affected businesses and residents May decrease compliance rates

11 Frequently Received Questions Why change the rule this year? benefits will be used in plan, if this rule is more effective, then reductions from other regulations will be avoided Why eliminate the exemption for certified/pellet devices when that encourages upgrades to cleaner EPA certified/pellet equipment? This is not in the staff s proposal, however, upgrading fireplaces with EPA certified or pellet stoves results in emissions increases because they are generally used more. Why don t you just ban visible smoke, every day? Over a hundred thousand homes in Sacramento County have fireplaces that generally cannot be used without emitting visible smoke. The cost of replacement/repairs is high, and may increase emissions for the reasons noted above. A high degree of public acceptance is important to maintain high voluntary compliance rates. Enforcement costs would be prohibitive now to ban all visible smoke. Why not prohibit gross polluters - open hearth fireplaces? Although fireplaces emit more on a per hour basis. Fireplaces are not used as frequently as EPA certified and pellet stoves/inserts. Why not require retrofit of devices on sale of property? Other areas have this requirement. It costs more and takes longer to achieve air quality benefits than episodic wood burning restrictions. What other efforts is the District doing to reduce pollution? District provides financial incentives to replace with cleaner devices (including gas/electric) Prohibits new installations of dirty stoves/inserts Other NOx, VOC, and PM controls by federal, state and local regulations
